What happened on GMB?

The section started off friendly enough but soon descended into mayhem.

Towards the end of the debate, Matt suddenly said: "I've just got to say one important thing here.

"I was treated like an outcast today in this studio, I was put - not in the green room with Ollwyn - but dumped outside.

"And I've got to say one thing, I'm going to show you my balls."

As Kate, Ranvir and Ollwyn looked horrified, the father-of-three stood up and started to undo his belt.

As both presenters held their hands up and cried "No, no, no", Matt then undid his flies and flung two pairs of small pink balls out of his trousers.

He added: "Balls, balls to a fatherless Father's Day."

Speaking after his appearance, Matt said in a statement: "I went on the show to defend fathers, especially dads for whom Father’s Day is the only day in the year that they may get some recognition.

"We’ve had 650 pairs of knitted balls made by grannies across the country who aren’t able to see their grandchildren at any time of year, and whose pain on Father’s Day is even greater when they worry about their sons who have no access.

"So I grabbed the opportunity to take a stand and get my knitted balls out on live TV.”
